What do you think of the Nora Android app and desktop browser optimized for social networking services? Does anyone use it? Is it safe and private?

That is quite unnecessarily extreme for any threat model. Even if we ignore your bringing of a thermonuclear bomb to this metaphorical fist fight, most social media sites block Tor and require a lot of PII to even begin consuming content, so you'd probably be better off practicing self control and avoiding those sites entirely.

    I agree about avoiding the sites entirely. That is the best approach.

    I disagree about running Qubes and Whonix. It's actually so easy - there's no reason not to try it.

    (Unless you're in a country where using Tor is penalized.)

    I don't mean to say that running / installing Qubes or Whonix is difficult per se, as a matter of fact I use both on my main machine, rather it's not very intuitive to set up as, and likely far beyond the threatmodel of, someone brand new to privacy.
